Paune. My mind has conceived love to Hari.

Muttering Hari, Hari in the society of the pious (it becomes) pure, true (its) practice. (1). (I am) much longing after (thy) sight, I think (of thee) in many ways. Bestow a favour (on me), 0 Supreme Brahm, 0 Hari, 0 Murari, be gracious (to me)! (2). (My) mind has come from a foreign country and joined the society of the pious. Who is desiring goods, he gets them by love to the name. (3). All the pleasures and relishes of the Maya pass away in a moment. The devotees are attached to thy name, they enjoy happiness in every place. (4). The whole world is seen as passing away, immovable is the name of Hari. Having made friendship with the pious thou wilt obtain an immovable spot. (5). Friends, sweethearts, sons and relatives, no one is remaining with (thee). The one name of Eam is accompanying (thee), the Lord is the friend of the poor. (6). The lotus-feet (of Hari) are the boat, by clinging to that the ocean is crossed. The perfect, true Guru meets with (him, who) has true love to the Lord.
